EIGHTEEN YEARS.
ON CHARITABLE AID. RELIEF TO IMMIGRANT LADY. The fart that a lady had been receiving charitable aid from the Waikato Hospital Board for 18 years was mentioned at the hoard's meeting today. This lady had been in need of assistance almost from the lime she arrived in the country. She had formerly lived in Hotbrua, and had come under the cure of the Waikato Board. in recent years she had lived in Tauranga, but Waikato was still responsible for her support. ■Mr J. .J. Ryburn asked whether the Tauranga Board should not rightly be charged with the assistance the lady required. The secretary explained that this could not be done, as the lady had been continuously receiving relief from the Waikato Board. The lady was a chronic sufferer from rheumatism. She had gone to Tauranga because she had been able to get light employment there. Mr C. J. w. Barton said that if her relief were stopped the Tauranga Board would send her back into the Waikato district. It was agreed that the relief should not be stopped.
